I am putting disc brakes on the 1950. I have to drill the spindle to 1/2. Not a problem, but the steering arms are eating drill bits like candy. Any help would be great.

I will following along just to get smarter about what I should have done. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,747 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,747 | Use a carbide bit in a drill press, low spindle speed, and plenty of lubricant. You should be able to find a solid carbide bit on Ebay. A very short one would be best, as carbide is brittle, and breaks easily. Be sure to clamp the steering arm tightly to the drill press table- - - -don't try to hold it by hand. For instance: www.ebay.com/itm/275617376778?Jerry
